Hello everyone,
I have a problem. Today i switched on my Mini 2 and performed the firmware update.
The update finished at around 76% and I lost my patience after 20 Minutes and tried to switch it off.
Because the battery button did not work and the mini looked unresponsive and pulle dout the battery.

Now if I switch it on the light goes form green blinking to red blinking and stays in that state - rate is about one blink per second.
Battery indicator shows most left and right lights on with the two in the middle off - no reaction to battery button.

There is a YT video that says you should give the mini time to update - but even after 30 mInutes nothing changes form the red blinking.

App says Firmware updated downloaded and if I press update a message box pops up wtelling me its checking battery status which takes about 1 minute - nothing happens after a lot of minutes.


Using DJI Assistant only allows me to download the log - all others items are not accessible before I reboot the device ... which is not possible.


Any suggestions on how to proceed are greatly appreciated

Have a nice Sunday

What happens if you try with another (charged) battery?

You can factory reset or go back to earlier FW in assistant and restart the new FW. Just make sure your assistant is up to date, this SW is a crock of SH and needs patience.
